Thoughts on Returning Home
Aaahhhh! I’ve been at home for 10 days now, and it’s been great. The first few days were hectic with trying to get set up and organized. I’m loving the electricity, constant internet, good cell coverage, my own pillows, and all those little things that I miss so much on the road. Trying to establish […]
Thoughts on Sisterhoods
On my long journey this summer, I hooked up with a group of women who met each morning at a charming coffee shop in Spearfish, South Dakota. Two of the women are good friends of mine. When we lived there, we were neighbors, and our husbands worked in the same office. We went to lunch […]

Thoughts on ERs
Crazy as it may seem, I’ve had to spend a lot of time in the Emergency Room. Not for me, but for people I live with or are visiting me. To be fair, I’ve been to the ER a couple of times, once for stitches and once because my doctor thought I had heart trouble […]
